Recruitment firm rebrands following Italian takeover
East Midlands recruiter, Encore Personnel, which has sites across Derby, Leicester, Northampton and Nottingham, has rebranded as Gi Group, following the acquisition of the business by Italian-headquartered global HR and recruitment firm last September.
As part of the deal, the business and its branch locations across the UK will now be fully rebranded as Gi Group.
Paulo Canoa, country manager Gi Group UK, said: “The coming together of Encore and Gi Group is a time for celebration. This union means we have immediately increased our ability to serve both our own—and Encore’s long-standing customers—in the industrial, driving, and manufacturing sectors with more expertise and insight than ever before, and now with our much larger team of skilled consultants.
“With the blending of the two teams, we will bring to the table important opportunities for our customers to achieve synergies on a much larger scale while we deliver bespoke recruitment and HR solutions against a backdrop of increasingly complex UK labour market conditions.
“For more than two decades, the Encore brand has been a benchmark for both successful candidate journeys and an extremely high-standard recruitment practice for clients. We acknowledge its reputation and standing with great respect. We know that as a united team, our people are poised to achieve industry-leading results together and we’re delighted to be taking this next step as a stronger, bolder, and brighter team.”
Gi operates more than 26 branches and 60 sites and employs 650 people nationally.
